Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials play a pivotal role in the field of tissue regeneration, offering innovative solutions for restoring, regenerating or substituting damaged tissues or organs. The selection of biomaterials, ranging from natural polymers to synthetic biodegradable counterparts, involves careful consideration of biocompatibility, mechanical and degradation kinetics. Advancements in (bio)fabrication techniques and the functionalization of biomaterials with bioactive molecules provide precise control over biophysical and biochemical cues necessary to induce regeneration by modulating the extracellular microenvironment or driving cellular reprogramming. This Special Issue entitled “Biomaterials for Tissue Regeneration” will focus on original research papers and comprehensive reviews covering the development of innovate biomaterials to address clinically relevant challenges. Original research papers on the dynamic interplay between biomaterials and cells highlighting their essential role in the regeneration of tissues or organs are highly encouraged. Articles discussing further advancing tissue-engineered products towards clinical practice will be also addressed.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Instructive biomaterials;
- Smart biomaterials for tissue engineering;
- Nanostructured biomaterials for enhanced tissue engineering;
- 3D (bio)printing of biomaterials for drug/therapeutics delivery and tissue engineering;
- Immunomodulation in tissue regeneration using biomaterials.
Additional research areas focusing on the development of novel biomaterials for tissue regeneration will also be considered relevant.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
